Solved
Many of us have heard the term,
'As thick as two short planks'
The question has always been, how long and how thick, no one knew the answer.
I think I now have it solved.
Today doing some cleaning up in my garden shed, did it during the first year of the Pandemic so it was a bit of a mess.
There tucked away in a corner I found them, 'Two short planks"
Length, just over 30 cm, thickness 20 mm.
So there it is, problem solved.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
